Bayley/Charlotte Sees Ratings Drop w/ Teenage Girls, Smackdown Viewership

  • The Bayley vs. Charlotte main event on Raw saw a significant ratings decline of 38% among teenage girls before the match even came on. This seemed contrary to thoughts that Bayley’s character draws in teenage girls.

  • Smackdown ratings for the week were virtually unchanged, with 2.626 viewers, down marginally from seven days ago. While some may consider this good news, it really wasn’t as the show was coming off of the Elimination Chamber and heavy advertising of a Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena rematch.
